Spree: all about synthetic diamonds and how DeBeer's is scared as hell. Good.
Best quote: "Wrong, says Jef Van Royen, a senior scientist at the Diamond High Council, the official representative of the diamond industry in Belgium. "If people really love each other, then they give each other the real stone," he says, during an interview at council headquarters on the Hoveniersstraat in Antwerp. "It is not a symbol of eternal love if it is something that was created last week.""

The real problem, of course, is PR. "Oh honey, it's so beautiful! Is it a real diamond?" "Well, it's not a natural one, darling. But it sure was cheap."
Try selling that one to the new in-laws.
